Antithrombin Iii Deficiency

SummaryAntithrombin III (ATIII) deficiency is one of the few known abnormalities of the coagulation system known to predispose to venous thromboembolism but its relation to arterial disease is not established. We describe two related patients with this disorder, both of whom suffered arterial thrombotic events, at an early age. Both patients had other potential risk factors, though these would normally be considered unlikely to lead to such catastrophic events at such an age. Thrombosis due to ATIII deficiency is potentially preventable, and this diagnosis should be sought more frequently in patients with arterial thromboembolism, particularly if occurring at a young age. In addition, in patients with known ATIII deficiency, other risk factors for arterial disease should be eliminated, if possible. In particular, these patients should be counselled against smoking.

SummaryAntithrombin-III activity was determined in 752 patients with a history of venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism. 54 patients (7.18%) had an antithrombin-III activity below the normal range. Among these were 13 patients (1.73%) with proven hereditary deficiency. 14 patients were judged to have probable hereditary antithrombin-III deficiency, because they had a positive family history, but antithrombin-III deficiency could not be verified in other members of the family. In the 27 remaining patients (most of them with only slight deficiency) hereditary antithrombin-III deficiency was unlikely. The prevalence of hereditary antithrombin-III deficiency was higher in patients with recurrent venous thrombosis.

A congenital Antithrombin III (AT III) deficiency affecting 7 members of 3 families is reported.The first throrabo-embolic accidents were observed between the age of 22 and 35 : they were spontaneous or occured after delivery or oral contraception. in one patient, a deep vein thrombosis was observed during heparin treatment. in 2 cases, recurrent pulmonary embolic episodes required vena cava ligation. No thromboembolic accident was observed during oral anticoagulation.AT III was measured by an amidolytic method and by the Mancini method on plasma and serum ; the antithrombin activity was determined on serum by the von Kaulla method. in 7 patients, a decreased AT III was found by all the methods performed. The AT III level was around 50 % in patients treated or not by oral anticoagulants One patient was studied during heparin treatment and then under oral anticoagulants : AT III levels were lower under heparin.
